This salad is really more like a marinated side dish; the tomatoes and peaches release a lot of liquid. One bonus: You can puree any leftovers for a quick gazpacho!

Quick-roasting caramelizes and reduces plum tomatoes in under an hour. A quick blitz can turn them into the tastiest ever pizza sauce, too.

Make a different corn-off-the-cob sauté every night of the week.

Just because you cook pasta doesn’t mean you have to cook the pasta sauce.

The prep is quick, the cooking even quicker: there’s a lot to love in this fresh, summer stir-fry.

What I love is the smoky contrast between the chorizo/smoked paprika/garlic base and the bright, creamy kick of the finish.

Hearty enough to star at the center of the plate, this delicious potato dish also makes a great side for roast chicken or pork.

A slow saute means gentle browning and deep flavor.

A tasty sauce and an easy technique means you can use this fried rice recipe as a template and substitute other veggies when they come into season. Be sure you’ve got cooked rice on hand.

Every cook should have a great recipe for deviled eggs in his or her repertoire. This one goes green with a bit of spinach-basil pesto.
